Journey North 2012

Help track spring's journey across the Northern Hemisphere! Journey North engages students in a global study of wildlife migration and seasonal change. K-12 students share their own field observations with classmates across North America. They track the coming of spring through the migration patterns of monarch butterflies, bald eagles, robins, hummingbirds, mantees, whooping cranes--and other birds and mammals, the budding of plants, changing sunlight and other natural events.
